Hello everyone 
I hope you are all well.
Through this post, I would like to publicly express my interest in joining the Treasury Committee for the year 2026.
I have been involved in this ecosystem since its inception and have always enjoyed working with the Foundation & community members.
In what I consider to be difficult times, I want to do my best to contribute to the efficient and rigorous use of the Treasury’s resources.

Name: Marin

Timezone: CET

English Language Proficiency: IRL 4

Qualifications: I’ve worked as a full-stack web3 developer for over four years, beginning as a freelancer before launching my own game studio in 2022. This journey has provided me with solid expertise across both the EVM and Polkadot ecosystems.
On the technical side, I write Solidity smart contracts that have passed professional audits. I am also capable of building backends, particularly using Node or Rust. These have been used to create dApps (NFTs, DeFi) as well as video games with an online/competitive component.
In 2024, I completed the Polkadot Blockchain Academy in Hong Kong, which deepened my understanding of the Polkadot ecosystem’s technical architecture and unique features.
I am therefore a full-stack developer who is well-versed in the technical requirements and tools necessary for successful web3 application development.

Background: My involvement with Moonbeam dates back to the early Moonriver crowdloan. When the Moonbeam parachain launched, I co-created GLMR Apes (the network’s first NFT collection), which was deployed on January 16, 2022, and sold out within minutes.
Working with the community, we introduced Snapshot to Moonbeam and organized it as a DAO. Through collective voting, we decided to launch a second collection with a higher supply designed for gameplay. This became GLMR Jungle and The Great Escape, which we launched at the end of March 2022, with the game going live that summer.
The Great Escape is a 2D platformer that is playable on both mobile devices and browsers. Our success earned us a spot in the first Moonbeam Accelerator cohort in 2023, where we refined the game.
Beyond building, I’ve stayed deeply engaged with the Moonbeam ecosystem. At the 2022 Polkadot Europe Hackathon, I won first place for a cross-chain dApp that used connected contracts on Moonbeam and Polygon to create a carbon offsetter powered by KlimaDAO.
Since September 2023, I’ve been an active delegator of the on-chain governance. It’s a role I take seriously, and I’m proud that the community has placed this level of trust in me.
This led to my selection for the MGG programme in seasons 1 and 2. I hope to be accepted again, as I really enjoy participating in the governance of this chain.
-
Motivation: Having contributed as an active member of the community for a long time, I have always tried to get more involved within Moonbeam’s ecosystem. Over the years, this has led me to take on a variety of roles: holder, builder, MGG delegate, and member of the Grants Committee on two occasions.
I still want to help the network and shape its future, that’s why I am very curious to find out more about the role of the Treasury Council. I believe that my technical skills and knowledge of the network will enable me to be helpful there.
More importantly, in a relatively difficult period for altcoins, I want to ensure that the treasury is being used wisely. This means analysing proposals seriously, doing due diligence, negotiating, and always trying to obtain the best terms for the chain.
-
Conflicts of Interest: No potential conflicts of interest.
-
Availability: I can be available for approximately 10 hours per week for this role.
-
Code of Conduct: I agree to abide by the code of conduct. I never had any issues with the Moonbeam community.
I hope this thread has answered your questions and that I will receive your trust once again.
If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them below this post.
